Novel RNA sense-and-respond circuit harnesses the force of enzymes to develop better drugs

More than twelve billion doses of mRNA vaccines have been administered globally since the start of the COVID pandemic, saving millions of lives. But RNA-based therapies for other diseases have so far proven more challenging to develop.

Age and sex determine the effects of microbiota on mice's metabolome

The gut handles all ingested foods for further digestion and assimilation. In addition, it harbors a wealth of microbes that produce metabolic byproducts with multiple effects on host physiology. Therefore, changes in the gut microbiome's composition can shift the gut's metabolome as well.

Influenza A virus suppresses SARS-CoV-2 replication during co-infection

SARS-CoV-2 does not suppress the replication of influenza A in simultaneous or sequential co-infections.

A single base-resolution sequencing methodology that sequences the two most common cytosine modifications in a single workflow

Researchers developed a WGS method that read four canonical DNA bases, viz., adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) plus 5mC and 5hmC, epigenetic variants of unmodified C to yield an accurate six-letter digital readout in a single workflow.

Research finds higher rate of rare tandem repeats in the genomes of individuals with schizophrenia

In our cells, the language of DNA is written, making each of us unique. A tandem repeat occurs in DNA when a pattern of one or more nucleotides – the basic structural unit of DNA coded in the base of chemicals cytosine (C), adenine (A), guanine (G) and thymine (T) – is repeated multiple times in tandem. An example might be: CAG CAG CAG, in which the pattern CAG is repeated three times.
